The legendary Deep Thoughts and New Yorker
humorist Jack Handey is back with his very first novel-a
hilarious, absurd, far-flung adventure tale.
THE
STENCH OF HONOLOLU
Are you a fan of books in
which famous tourist destinations are repurposed as
unlivable hellholes for no particular reason? Read
on!
Jack Handey's exotic tale is full of
laugh-out-loud twists and unforgettable characters whose
names escape me right now. A reliably unreliable narrator
and his friend, who is some other guy, need to get out of
town. They have a taste for adventure, so they pay a visit
to a relic of bygone days-a travel agent-and discover an old
treasure map. She might have been a witch, by the way. Our
heroes soon embark on a quest for the Golden Monkey, which
takes them into the mysterious and stinky foreign land of
Honolulu. There, they meet untold dangers, confront strange
natives, kill and eat Turtle People, kill some other things
and people, eat another thing, and discover the ruins of
ancient civilizations.
As our narrator says, "The
ruins were impressive. But like so many civilizations, they
forgot the rule that might have saved them: Don't let vines
grow all over you."
